This machine has the ability to inflict limitless, unbearable pain. When turned on, Raytheon's 'Silent Guardian' emits an invisible, focused beam of radiation — similar to the microwaves in a domestic cooker — that are tuned to a precise frequency to stimulate human nerve endings. It can throw a wave of agony nearly half a mile. Because the beam penetrates skin only to a depth of 1/64th of an inch, it cannot, says Raytheon, cause visible, permanent injury. The demo model looks like a small speaker. (Image) With practical application is just around the corner, I wonder if anybody at that trade show was selling Faraday body suits. . ?

From Gizmodo, "NBC just announced free DRM'ed downloads of popular shows like Heroes, Conan, The Office, 30 Rock and the Bionic Woman that will last a week. Windows now, but upgrades such as Mac compatibility, HD, and portable player support coming soon."
Do they finally get it?

Is a signed document that I've scanned to .pdf legal?
Like most contractors, I frequently need to submit to Background Investigations (BIs), for
Client Access.
Part of the process invariably requires that I fill out Immigration & Naturalization
Service (INS) Form I-9, plus others that are moderately standardized.
I have two customer HR Departments that insist on not accepting a signed .pdf.
The question for the community is — in your experience — have you sucessfully
handed over a filled-out & signed form in .pdf format ?
Is/Was there any court decision that you were able to cite?
